"Tsunami Dog" Reunited

I loved hearing about this story last week. The Japanese Coast Guard was searching for survivors in the debris fields floating in the open ocean. To their amazement, they found a dog drifting in the debris, standing on the roof of a washed-away house. They rescued him but had no idea who his owner was. The news story circulated around Japan and a relative of the owner recognized the pup. Yesterday, the dog, named 'Ban', was reunited with its owner.

You can't deny the healing and warm affect animals have on humans. Their intelligence, compassion and love are undeniable. I love witnessing the bond that this dog has with its owner. Too bad we can't understand what the owner is saying in the video! I'll post a translation when some other newscaster undoubtedly covers this story tomorrow.
